Ann said: "Can someone give me an estimate for US aid to Haiti? (it wasn't included in the above newspaper article)"

I have done several searches and can't find anything on the internet to prove it, but last night O'Reilly said that in the past 5 years, we have given $Billions to Haiti.

I did find where Hilary gave Haiti $300Million back April 2009.

O'Reilly's point was that whatever we given in the past has been stolen, and whatever we give now will also be stolen. One thing we know for sure, they never used any of our money to build any earthquake-resistant infrastructure.

On O'Reilly it was said that since 1992 the US has given $3 billion in aid to Haiti. Most of it evaporated due to corruption.
